Love the Story ~ Wrinkle & Our Blooming Story ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

Sharing my last card from the fun Instagram Hop for Unity and Brutus Monroe's awesome collaboration of background stamps. This time I'm featuring the Wrinkle background stamp... I've played with this stamp a few times now and can't get enough of it!!

This time I stamped the Wrinkle background very simply using Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide inks on Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink. I die cut it with the awesome Deckle & Stitches Nesting dies and adhered it to an Early Espresso card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I then adhered my card front to a white A2 top fold card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".

The gorgeous typewriter stamp from Our Blooming Story was stamped with Black Amalgam ink from Gina K Designs. I colored it up with the following Copic Markers:

Flowers ~ RV10, RV13, RV14, BG11, BG23

Typewriter ~ BG70, BG72, BG75

Typewriter Ribbon ~ C00, C1, C3

Background {behind the flowers} ~ E30, E31 

I fussy cut the typewriter on the line and neatened up the edges by coloring it with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. 

I stamped and trimmed the sentiment. Colored the heart in a bit with the same Copic Markers I used for the flowers. I then adhered it over the typewriter. I added a bunch of thin foam tape to the back of the typewriter and sentiment and popped it up on the card.

You can see some of the dimension in this photo. I love how this card turned out! And I'm really loving the Wrinkle background stamp. Head over to Unity to check out all the new background stamps and the other fun releases, too!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs, Crystal

I Love the Story ~ Unity Sketch Challenge ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm still playing catch-up with my creations for Unity's last new release and sale of 2021. Today, I'm sharing a sweet love card that I made using the December Sketch and the newly released Our Blooming Story. I LOVE this gorgeous typewriter!!

I went with a simple palette of blue-green, purple and white. The background is a pretty polka dot paper from the Flutter Away {paper pack} from Unity. 

Keeping with a polka dot theme... I stamped the Polka Dance background stamp with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink on white card stock. I didn't completely cover the background stamp with ink giving the background a more distressed look.

I stamped the sentiment and new typewriter stamps with Gina K. Black Amalgam ink and colored the typewriter with the following Copic markers:

Typewriter ~ V20, V22, V28

Flowers ~ R14, BG000, BG01, BG10, BG53

Leaves / Stems ~ YG11, YG13

I fussy cut the typewriter and colored the edges with a Memento Tuxedo black marker. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the typewriter and then I popped up the whole piece on the card front. I adhered the card front to a white A2 top fold card base. I finished off the card with some beautiful Spring Bling rhinestones from Gina Marie Designs. A sweet love day card or any day card!

If you haven't already, check out the December Sketch challenge over in the Unity Show & Tell group. There's only a couple more days to play along!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
